Prague Soundscapes
Dvorak's opera Rusalka at the National Theatre. The hypnotic chanting of Hare Krishnas joyfully dancing thmugh the streets. A punk concert in an underground club.
And in this book, they are the subject of a musical anthropological inquiry. These are the sounds of Prague. Prague Soundscapes seeks to understand why in human society - in its behavior, values, and relationships - music is produced and how those who make it listen to it.
Based on recent theories of cultural anthropology, this study offers an account of the musical activities of contemporary Prague in different musical genres, cultural spaces, and events. The text is bolstered by color photographs of the musical events, producers, and listeners.
